* * UPDATE * * 07/08/11 The original cache
location has completely changed due to construction. There was
originally a convenient pull-off near the cache for easy retrieval.
Now there is a paved road and sidewalk in place which runs by the
cache. There is a pull-off approximately 400 ft. west of the cache.
Please use this to park instead of parking on the street or parking
in the nearby neighbor's driveway! The container is still a cammo
taped peanut butter jar and is now in the crotch of a tree just
north of the cedars.
STAGE ONE: At the posted
coordinates, you will find a sign listing the achievements of
various Andover High School athletic programs. To get to the second
stage, you will need to find on this sign the year associated with
Football. Multiply the second and third digits of this year. Take
this two-digit product, reverse the digits and multiply by ten. The
final product will be your bearing to the second stage (For
example, if the year is ABCD, the formula would look like this: B x
C = EF. FE x 10 = Bearing). To get to the second stage, you will
need to travel at that bearing for the length of a football field
(goal line to goal line).
Year on the sign = __ __ __ __ (ABCD)
B x C = __ __ (EF)
FE x 10 = __ __ __ (Bearing to Stage Two)
Distance = __ __ __ yds.
STAGE TWO: From GZ of stage
two, look to the west. You will see a large oddly shaped concrete
structure. At the top of this structure is a number. There are also
three words after this number. The coords for the final stage are
as follows: N 37 42.GHI W 097 0J.KLM. For the North coordinates of
the final, G = the last digit of the three digits on the sign. H =
the first digit on the sign minus one. I = the second digit on the
sign minus seven. For the West coordinates of the final, you will
need to count the letters in each of the three words following the
number on the sign. J = the number of letters in the first word. K
= the number of letters in the second word minus the number of
letters in the first word. L = the number of letters in the last
word. M = the number of letters in the second word.
N 37 42.GHI W 097 0J.KLM = N 37 42.__ __ __ W 097 0__ . __ __
__
STAGE THREE: You are looking
for a cammo taped peanut butter jar... with a bit of swag which is
located a few miles away from stage two (an easy drive). FTF prize
is an Anodver Trojans T-Shirt.
Good luck and may all of your caching (and football) dreams come
true!
